Relationship break-up period courtesy Facebook status

The leading social media, yes am referring to Facebook tells a lot about about our friends, family, and of course the whole world. It did not come as surprise when David McCandless was able to get the necessary data for graphically presenting the relationship break ups of those users that were brave to announce to their friends(and to some extent the world) that they have broken up.

The peak periods are:

• March, after the valentine period, in time for Spring break.
• 2 weeks before the christmas break. Talk about great financial planning.

It would have been amazing to see how this relates to different region of the world, age, race, etc.

"thats really horrid... my little sensitive soul has been disrupted"...was the response from one of my facebook friend after sharing it on my profile.
